What’s Spermidine?
Spermidine is a naturally occurring polyamine characterized by the presence of two or more primary amino groups. It is widely found in ribosomes and living tissues and plays a vital role in cellular function and survival. Studies have shown that spermidine can extend lifespan in fungi, nematodes, insects, and rodents, highlighting its potential longevity benefits.
In humans, spermidine is synthesized from its precursor putrescine and is a key component in the production of spermine, another essential polyamine. It supports cellular health, growth, and maintenance and is essential for overall biological processes.
One of the most notable functions of spermidine is its role as a potent activator of autophagy – a natural cellular process that removes damaged components and promotes cell renewal. By stimulating autophagy, spermidine helps restore cellular activity and extend lifespan. Recent studies suggest that increasing dietary spermidine intake may reduce all-cause mortality, particularly by supporting cardiovascular health.
